Love at First Sight - Farmhouse Friday #17

These chairs were among our finds during our trip to North Carolina a couple months ago. I love love love them!

For me, the soft aqua paint on the frames mixed with the vintage tapestry fabric are the perfect combination to create a fresh vintage look.

I didn't have any of our paint chips, or a fireplace tile with me during our trip, but I knew that they would be perfect for the farmhouse....I just knew it. Do you do that too? See something and just know it will be perfect?!

I was so sure they would work that I had a sold sticker on these babies within 2 minutes of spotting them. (Please forgive the cell phone quality of these pics.)

Although I must confess I wasn't at much risk of losing them, these poor gems had been marked down and shoved to the back of an upholstery/fabric shop. It's as if they were waiting there for me to find them.

If you've been to my Shoppe, then you already know that I love white and neutrals. But, I've been craving color lately. Any other white furniture lovers feeling that?

As for the color of my new vintage funky little chairs.....well just take a look at them in their new home.

They look as if they were designed specifically for those 120 year old fireplace tiles!

And look how they pull that blue ceiling right down into the room.

My chair love prompted me to get out the sewing machine and create a little something for these gems. More to come on that.

As our close friends know, we are much further along on the farmhouse than I've shown you just yet......but I'm trying to catch up here on the blog.

Hope I'm not boring you with this "show it to you as we go" room reveal. Thought I'd try something different....I like getting to share the details, and especially like hearing your thoughts as we go along.

So tell me, are you sharing in my chair love?

Okay, up next.....a chandie!

P.S. It's First Monday weekend, the Shoppe is open until Sunday! Come see us!

Link up below and share some farmhouse love! I'm also sharing over at Common Ground!

I love your tapestry chairs! The aqua accent really brings the chairs out and the tile in the fireplace too. I love the feel of farm house design. I'm like you, though, I'm beginning to prefer some color in it too.

Those chairs are amazing!! I love how vintage and different they are. They fit that room perfectly. They have so much personality. Can't wait to see what you're making for them and how the rest of the room will end up.

I absolutely love those chairs! I'm like you, sometimes I spot something that I know will be a perfect fit. The blue trim pulls out the blue in the fireplace tiles and match so well!Those chairs look like they are old...I love the chippy type paint and the vintage style fabric. So glad you found themI think the idea of doing little room reveals is a wonderful idea. Little tidbits helps us to see how the rooms come together.
